Egyptian goose goslings daily video diary - week 3

[LHRT229]

I MISSED A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION.. FROM THE TIME A GOSLING HATCHES WHAT DO THEY EAT AND HOW (IF ANY) DOES THE DIET CHANGE UP TO ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE IN THE SERIES..

@LHRT229 They mostly fed on grass. Having serrated edges to their bills which enables them to snip off pieces of vegetation. They also fed on loose pieces of algeea which where floating on the water.

Growing up, their diet hasn't changed much, the only new addition is bread. I have also seen one gosling eating a worm, so they will also feed on insects, but in their habitat there are not many resources of insects.
